11.4.08
(GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass.) -- Legendary rocker Dave Mason will perform at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center on Friday, December 5, at 8.
Mason is best known for the hit single “Feelin’ Alright,” which he recorded with Traffic in 1968. Throughout his 40 year career, Mason has played with some of the most popular musicians of his era including Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Fleetwood Mac and Mama Cass Elliot.
On October 14th Mason released a solo album six years in the making, 26 Letters ~ 12 Notes on Out The Box Records. The album, a soulful blend of Mason’s rock and blues influences, is currently being shared and celebrated with a full nationwide tour that will last throughout the fall of 2008 and into early 2009.
In 1969, Mason headed to the USA to embark upon a solo career which resulted in his increasing rise to stardom and the popular hits “Only You Know And I Know And We Just Disagree” along with “Every Woman,” from the platinum albums Alone Together and Let It Flow. Let It Flow has gone multi-platinum in its time and “We Just Disagree,” which is featured on this album was a top-ten single.
Dave and his band, which consists of, Gerald Johnson (bass), John Sambataro (guitar), Alvino Bennett (drums) and Bill Mason (Keyboard), continue to travel and perform anywhere from 80-100 shows annually. Mason says that having great musicians with good personalities has been the key to the band’s success. He says, “You spend a lot of time with these people, so that’s important”.
